Researchers have developed a new type of ultrasonic detecting
system which can quickly check effectiveness of chemotherapy for liver
cancer patients.
After treated with one or two weeks of chemotherapy, contrast agent is
injected into blood of liver cancer patients. Then using ultrasonic to
observe, if the blood flow which provides tumour with nourishment is
slower than before, the tumour becomes small.
The ultrasonic system can carry out the automatic lesions tracking, save
time and power in examing. The volume of blood and the rate of flow
can be shown as figure. If the contrast agent spends more time on
flowing into tumor, means the better effectiveness of chemotherapy and
the smaller tumour.
Chemotherapy drugs have high price and harmmful aftereffects, if they were proved ineffective, we should try other methods as soon to relieve suffering of patients. Research team think that this ultrasonic detection system are also available in treatment of breast cancer and pancreatic cancer.
